New songs from Trish Morgan are always eagerly awaited and here are five more, written in 2006/7 and recorded here in a "live" setting in South Africa. Although a live CD, there was a fair bit of work done back in Lincoln on pre-production and overdubs, but the music still has a very spontaneous feel to it and the songs are the usual anthemic fare we have come to expect from the former member of Heartbeat. Kicking off with "Do Not Be Afraid", Ms Morgan launches into a song of confidence and trust in God, before a song of unalloyed praise and wonder in "You Alone are Worthy". That theme is also taken up in the last song of the set, "You Deserve The Praises", and the other two songs are songs of assurance and comfort - "Here With Me" and "Loved". For someone who puts her work out under the Radical UK label, these are not really particularly edgy or demanding, but with sterling work from Paul Bell on guitar, Nat Entwistle on bass and Howard Williams on keyboards (together with a strong group of vocalists), Trish provides music to stir the heart and lift the spirits.
